MY STORY


I was born in Kuşadası.

I started my work with semi-precious stones and have been pursuing it professionally since 1996, learning wax and silver techniques from various masters.

In order to gain a different perspective and broaden my field of study, in 2003 I received training in glass bead making from glass artist Michaela Köppl at the Beykoz Glassblowing Foundation, which was the first of its kind in Türkiye.

I have been creating the Beymen Club silver jewelry collection since 1996.

For me, it's the greatest school where I learned I can do more than I'm already capable of.

I participated in group exhibitions.

My work was exhibited at the National Museum in Washington DC, making me the first Turkish jewelry artist to do so.

I believe that participating in social responsibility projects is first and foremost my personal responsibility, and then my responsibility to society.

Under the leadership of Ay Marka Group, I designed and produced pomegranate bracelets for the “Strong Women, Happy Tomorrows” Pomegranate Seeds project, which was carried out for young girls in orphanages.

I was deeply moved by the Down Syndrome Association's awareness walks with the slogan "True Friends Don't Count Chromosomes," and I started a campaign by designing butterfly bracelets for their "Welcome Baby" project.

For the Koruncuk Foundation, "Lend a Hand, Let Them Hold Onto Life"
"A Magic Spell," launched by 24 volunteers for KAÇUV,
For the Community Volunteers Foundation, "In the Name of the Power of Youth" and
I designed and produced the "Hand in Hand, Stronger Together" bracelets to support "WMC Turkey Women with Cameras" and to promote their equality and increased production.

For the Göbeklitepe exhibition by the art platform Istanbul 1881, which resonated throughout the world, I created a modern Göbeklitepe jewelry collection, inspired by the mysterious symbols found there.

My support efforts will continue.

My jewelry is a miracle, a form I've created to bring my dreams to life.

My goal is simply and always to be able to experience this miracle.

With love...
